Several researchers are working together to connect the Ray Families that we believe originated in
early Virginia. The information presented is the result of many. Our research includes sharing
DNA results as appropriate for genealogy purposes. Several researchers have participated in the DNA
research.
If you think you can connect to the Ray / Wray families that link back to early Virginia and
